Indian journalists fight reporting curbs

A directive issued a week ago bars journalists from publishing material about the activities of various insurgent groups because they are a "threat to the integrity of India." But, apart from restricting press freedom, journalists say a failure to report places them in danger from militants who insist on coverage. (Via Calcutta Telegraph)
